Checklist items for the v5.3 release
(using the v5.2.900.1 release candidate build)
Search for your name to find relevant items, reply when you finish an
item (please indicate which item/s is/are done). Also, if you have any
commits that should have been picked, make sure that the changes are in.
Important: new builds are created without announcement, usually whenever
I pick a few commits. If you need to commit changes, please make sure
you tell me to pick it into the release branch.
--> Release candidates are at
--> http://pre.racket-lang.org/release/installers
Please use these installers (or source bundles) -- don't test from
your own git clone (don't test the `master' branch by mistake!). To
get the tests directory in such a directory, you can do this:
cd ...racket-root...
git archive --remote=git://git.racket-lang.org/plt.git release \
-- collects/tests | tar x
